@limerickcitybiz 👏👏👏 Well done Nigel @limerickcitybiz, that's a really useful piece of research @FearStairLmk. I never realised that the wall below Exchange St. was part of the original wall. What remains should be preserved and highlighted as part of the great history of Limerick.

@FearStairLmk Paul, try The People's Museum of Limerick in Pery Square. It has a lot of old rowing cups on display. I discovered the Quin Cup there, which my father won with Athlunkard Boat Club in 1951.

@Gilleeece @stmunchins @ScoilIde Thank you Emma. Great background. Living in Corbally then, I recall the houses were originally known as the Token houses, before Shannon Banks came into common usage.

@FearStairLmk Wonderful tour of a great Limerick street. Thank you Paul. My grandparents, the Quinns, lived at 1 Oakville. Lots of families and stories remembered on the walk through 👏.

@FearStairLmk Thank you Paul for organising this trip down memory lane. It was really informative and enjoyable.

[Gerard Real @gerardreal1]

@FearStairLmk Fantastic, interesting to think what it was like before it was built.

[Gerard Real @gerardreal1]

1/ HOW TO AVOID TRANSMISSION and have #CleanAirHolidays?

Most important: understand and explain clearly that we get infected by breathing infected air (aerosols) exhaled by SOME (not all) the infected

Mainly in close proximity, and in shared room air

[Orla Hegarty @Orla_Hegarty]

@CMOIreland 🦠 #Covid19 is inhaled in infected air in rooms & vehicles

😷 Wear well fitting masks everywhere indoors (outside your home) & in empty rooms, especially lifts & toilets

🪟🌬 Air rooms regularly, breath clean air

🍽🍺🕺🏻 Avoid restaurants/pubs/nightclubs

@liz_agriphobia Bird's Carnival in Pa Healy's field was the big one and of course the swinging boats in Miltown Malbay were a favourite.
